Children as plants

[Povester]

I am collecting plants named after my sons. I have an Isaac rose (Mme Isaac Pereire), a Reuben blackberry and I need a Sam (or Samuel). Any suggestions?

There are daylilies called Hemerocallis 'Samuel Bell', there is a red hot poker Kniphofia 'Samuel's Sensation', Magnolia grandiflora 'Samuel Sommer' & 'Rhododendron Samuel Taylor Coleridge'

I have my own namesake groing in my garden as a rather pernicious weed, herb robert

We should make a list of as many names as we can think of and the plants (I say we - I don't know any so I'll be taking advantage more than contributing!)

Or go native.......Sambucus...

Thanks for the suggestions, sleepyowl. Great to have a choice.

What's Sambucus, oldjerry?

I have a rose called "Alec's red" in honour of a dear family friend who loved roses,
as my late in-laws didn't have 'plant names' I just planted forget-me-nots..
